Title :CHIKARA SEASON 12 LAUNCHES IN JUST 10 DAYS ON 2/9/13Author :Bob MulreninDate :01/30/2013 (06:22:59 PM)

As the sun set on Season 11, many CHIKARA stars already looked ahead to the rising sun off in the distance. Now, out on the horizon, Season 12 is looming ever closer! It all starts on Saturday, February 9th, as we return to Reading, PA at 7:00 p.m., and bring to you "All the Agents and Superhuman Crew". Don't forget - all kids 12 and under are admitted free to the event with a paying adult! Here is what we have in store thus far:

1) The Inevitable Clash!-It was in Philadelphia that Archibald Peck was banished from CHIKARA and the site of his triumphant return, much to the disdain of the Young Lions Cup Champion, "Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti, (the man who had sent him packing in the first place!) At "All the Agents and Superhuman Crew" the former "Mysterious and Handsome Stranger" looks to avenge the loss of his feral pigeon Sapphire and humiliate his obnoxious jock rival once and for all!

2) Two Titanic Trios Collide!-CHIKARA is famed the world 'round for trios action, and this is a perfect example thereof! 3.0 (Scott "Jagged" Parker & Shane Matthews) will get a crack at their Campeonatos de Parejas foes, The Young Bucks (Nick Jackson & Matt Jackson) on the eve of their title clash in Easton. 3.0 will have Gran Akuma in their corner to back up them up, but The Bucks will have Ring of Honor Champion Kevin Steen joining them in this high-stakes trios match. The reigning Campeones vowed to take out their opponents, but can 3.0 steal a victory and crucial momentum heading into Easton's championship bout?

3) Singles Showdown!-Two of the most-decorated athletes in company history: each a Young Lions Cup champ, each a King of Trios, each a former Campeon. Now, for the very first time ever, Chuck Taylor faces Hallowicked in singles competition. When two of the finest active wrestlers in the world collide, while won will come out on the losing end, fans of pro-wrestling everywhere will most certainly win!

4) Who is King of the Anthill?-The ripple effects of Wink Vavasseur's random rulings characterize this ant-icipated match, as Fire Ant and assailANT are made to do battle with Soldier Ant and deviANT in Reading. Can the distrust and dysfunction finally be put aside, or will this test of loyalties prove too much for these pairings of former partners?

5) One On One!-While these two electrifying competitors were tangling at the Season 11 finale, Ophidian, swore that he saw the ghost of his old partner, Amasis among the crowd in Philadelphia. Will that image weigh on the mind of The Master of the Snake Style when he locks up with Frightmare in Reading, PA? Ophidian will have to keep his head on a swivel on Saturday night, because even if a former partner is lurking outside the ring, a bigger challenge lays right in front of him inside the ring in the form of our frenetic ball of kinetic energy!

6) First Time Ever!-Current CHIKARA Grand Champion Eddie Kingston is set for a war Sunday in Easton, but he can't look past his opponent Saturday night in Reading, the ever-resilient Green Ant. These two CHIKARA mainstays will tangle in the ring for the first-time-ever at "All the Agents and Superhuman Crew." Kingston looks to take care of business, while Green Ant is game to provide a challenge and steal a victory from the reigning champion.

7) Points In Play!-Jigsaw uttered words of warning to CHIKARA, particularly Mike Quackenbush, regarding his new teammate, The Shard. "There is no one in pro-wrestling today that can stop us," he proclaimed in his recent blog, and words that will get put to the test at "All the Agents and Superhuman Crew," against the newest incarnation of F.I.S.T. (Icarus and Sugar Dunkerton). Jigsaw and The Shard will look to send a message to all of the tag teams in CHIKARA that it is not a question of if, but when, these two will hold the prestigious Campeonatos de Parejas.

8) Yummy vs. Yucky!-It's been several long years Los Ice Creams (Ice Cream, Jr. & El Hijo del Ice Cream) have secured a title shot at Los Campeonatos de Parejas, but The Batiri (Obariyon & Kodama) take a back-step to no one in CHIKARA. Only one tandem can leave this encounter with a point toward title contention, can the delicious duo unseat the demons and start a sweet streak to the gold?
